from the description, sounds like heads only. Shouldn't be a problem.

sorry, yes it was a head only install and everything seems to be working just fine.....but while we're on the subject, whats the best cam to go with the Patriot LS6 stage II heads? Also, I plan to have nitrous installed on it sometime soon. maybe a 100 shot

PTV in your case should be fine. For a nice street set up, a lot of guys are running our 226/226 .585"/.585" cam or similar ones. Depending on the mods, they are seeing 410-430 rwhp.
